joey chang: hello there
Haligirl97: hi
joey chang: how are you this late night?
joey chang: it's so bright out!
Haligirl97: it's hella windy here...feels like my
house is going to blow over and I am sick
joey chang: you're sick? i'm sick too.
joey chang: everyone is sick
joey chang: and for christmas
nonetheless..
joey chang: do you have the flu?
Haligirl97: no...just a head cold
joey chang: i've had the flu for the past
few days.
joey chang: slept about 16 hours
yesterday..
joey chang: i hope you feel better :)
Haligirl97: wow
Haligirl97: thanks...you too
joey chang: it was pretty weird, getting
up at midnight and thinking it was just
before sunrise..
joey chang: i just went back to sleep..i
was SO sore..
Haligirl97: lol
joey chang: i'm getting better everyday.
i'm drinking wheatgrass juice and eating
very little
Haligirl97: ewww
joey chang: you don't like wheatgrass
juice?
joey chang: i like it. it tastes sweet.
joey chang: do you like sprouts?
Haligirl97: no...not a veggie person
joey chang: what kind of person are you?
Haligirl97: meat and potato girl
joey chang: hm. do you get headaches?
Haligirl97: nope...i eat a lot of junk food too! i
got a sweet tooth
joey chang: do you menstrate?
Haligirl97: yes...what kind of a question is that?
joey chang: not all women menstrate.
joey chang: would you consider a lifestyle
change to get rid of your period?
joey chang: all domesticated animals and
people (which have domesticated
themselves) menstrate.
joey chang: wild animals go through a
cycle of estrous and absorb all that
stuff you lose each month back into
their body.
Haligirl97: okay...why would i want to change
my body?
joey chang: to be healthy..to live without
stress..to feel good all the time..
Haligirl97: my ass would be hella stressed if i
never got my period
joey chang: you like pain then?
joey chang: are you a masochist?
Haligirl97: i'm never in pain
joey chang: at first you'd be stressed..
joey chang: don't you find it odd that
people and domesticated animals are
the only animals which go through
menstration?
Haligirl97: I don't know where you are getting
this...but other animals do the same
joey chang: not true..animals in the wild
do not menstrate..
joey chang: they go through estrous and
they reabsorb that stuff
Haligirl97: where did you get your info?
joey chang: from a book called life in the
21rst century
joey chang: it's in print and has scientific
references.
Haligirl97: okay great...there goes my college
education then
joey chang: huh?
joey chang: well that's good too. i
dropped out of college
joey chang: it's bullshit. it's a factory for
making wage slaves to toil away in the
machine..
joey chang: more cogs for the combine
Haligirl97: I beg to differ but thats okay
joey chang: well explain to me how it's
not what i said it is.
joey chang: if you differ, then let's have a
discussion about it.
Haligirl97: not everyone goes to college so they
can work
joey chang: what percentage of students
go to work after college?
Haligirl97: i don't know
Haligirl97: but do they work in a feild that they
majored in?
joey chang: is it fair to say that most
people, upon leaving college go to work
in some industry that they studied in
school or at some job or another?
joey chang: oftentimes not.
joey chang: because there aren't enough
good jobs for everyone.
joey chang: we try to give all the bad jobs
to the immigrants, but there's only a
small space at the top.
joey chang: would you agree that most
people believe in going to college and
getting a job?
Haligirl97: no
joey chang: what do most people believe
they should do?
joey chang: are you you in highschool?
joey chang: do your friends talk about
which college they want to go to?
Haligirl97: i don't know because I am not most
people
Haligirl97: I have graduated from college...
joey chang: oh i see.
joey chang: but we're talking
philosophically about most people.
joey chang: you may not want to follow
the herd, and this is good. but there are
many sheep among us
Haligirl97: i know plenty of people making over
50 thousand dollars a year on only a high school
education
joey chang: that is not my point..my
point is that they are making money
Haligirl97: yeah and
joey chang: they are participating in this
consumptive culture..therefore they are
part of the problem
Haligirl97: so you tell me how we should all live
joey chang: how should i know? i only ask
questions..could you tell me how we
should all live?
Haligirl97: i am content with the way i live
joey chang: that's good. that's very
important, however you didn't exactly
answer my ?
joey chang: we're not really talking about
you, we're talking about we, as in all of
humanity..
Haligirl97: i don't give a shit
joey chang: hmm.
Haligirl97: instead of bitching...change something
joey chang: do feel sorry for the people
that are starving in third world
countries?
joey chang: i'm trying to right now..
joey chang: your mind.. :)
Haligirl97: no cause they can do something about
it
joey chang: it's pretty hard to change
something without a group of dedicated
people
joey chang: if they can do something
about it, then why haven't they?
Haligirl97: lazyness
joey chang: maybe they're too weak
from malnutrition to "do something
about it"
joey chang: if anyone, i would say that
americans are the laziest of all people
as is evidenced by their tv addiction,
their addiction to a sedentary lifestyle,
and an addiction to big machinery
joey chang: that's why heart disease is
the # killer in america
joey chang: why do people get heart
disease?
Haligirl97: or maybe they are sitting around
waiting for us americans to help out...like
everyother country expects
Haligirl97: why do you sit and talk to people on
the internet...go farm something...knit...don't be
lazy
joey chang: i don't know if you realize,
but america controls the world through
economic imperialism..if we wanted to
help them, they would have been
helped long ago.
joey chang: this isn't being lazy
joey chang: i do farm
joey chang: i want to start knitting and
macrame and tailoring my own
clothes..
Haligirl97: why not?
joey chang: but i feel like i have to talk to
people about this stuff.
joey chang: i'm growing an abundance of
sprouts and wheat grass.
joey chang: pounds of food for pennies.
joey chang: a lb of wheat berries costs 50
cents.
Haligirl97: good for you but wheatgrass isn't
going to save the world
joey chang: that will make 20 lbs of
wheat..
joey chang: it might save the health of
the few who check it out and start
drinking the juice..
Haligirl97: so send it to the starving people
joey chang: i might go to a place that
needs help and set up a biodynamic
organic farm..
Haligirl97: so instead of telling me about it...go do
it
joey chang: but if i didn't tell you about it,
then you would never get the notion in
your brain to do the same..
joey chang: the only reason i'm talking to
you is because i feel i have a very
worthy message and that maybe it
might change a few minds.
joey chang: our consumer culture is
devouring the planet. i'm not some
whack environmentist either
joey chang: i'm just a regular guy, doing
what i feel will effect the most change.
joey chang: well thanks for the
conversation
